W. M. FRYER, who, for seventeen years has filled the responsible position of miller for the Richmond Milling Company, at Richmond, Ohio, was born in Allegheny County, Pa., December 28, 1857. Mr. Fryer attended school at Bridgeville, Allegheny County, and remained in his native locality until 1879, when he came to Richmond. Here he has resided ever since, with the exception of five years, during which period he was employed as engineer by the firm of Hayworth & Dewhurst, on the corner of Seventh and Liberty Streets, Pittsburgh, and by a company at Wellsville, Ohio. Mr. Fryer then returned to Richmond and has become thoroughly identified with the various interests of this pleasant borough. He owns one of the finest residences here and other property. Mr. Fryer married Miss Sarah Dorsey, a daughter of Edward Dorsey, of Canal Dover, Ohio, and they have four children, namely: Lucy Mabel, who married D. K. McKnight (they reside at Mt. Lebanon, near Pittsburgh and have two children--Lucile Marie and Sarah Eleanor); Frank H., who is time clerk in a shoe establishment at Pittsburgh; Lena May, who is a student in voice culture and piano, with a well known instructor; and Samuel Edward, who attends school at Richmond. The eldest child, Ada, died at the age of eight years and four months, her burial being in the Union Cemetery at Richmond. Mr. Fryer and family are members of the Presbyterian Church, in which he is a trustee. In politics, he is a Republican and for fourteen years he has been a member of the Richmond School Board. He is numbered with the representative business men of Richmond.  Return to Family Tales
